Let's have a fake attack on Iron Man 3

Patriot86, let's flip this around and say the threat had been legit, but were otherwise identical...

You are saying you would proactively initiate a shootout with SEVEN armed individuals in a crowded place?

Check the photo with the link. Ten people in costume, of which seven are in tac gear or trench and apparently armed.

Edit: Seems to me a better strategy would be to quietly try to get the family to and through an exit, which could then be used as a chokepoint or funnel, prior to any hostilities commencing.

If they are active shooters (shooting) then yes.
Better to fight to the end than line up and be killed like a sheep.
If its some sort of terrorist/hostage takeover, no shooting off the bat the ole "sit down and shut up" commands then not much fighting to do, just comply and wait for an opening. 1 VS 7 are sucky odds.

Thinking of a theater with people shooting, odds are all the exits will be covered. Its really a no win situation.
 
Yep, but that goes back to (again) assessing the situation and making the best call one can in that particular instance.

Again, tying back into the "Am I Wrong?" thread in T&T, to those who think everything is black and white...
 
Are Americans really this dumb?... I'll answer my own question, Yes, yes Tucker they are. Palm meet forehead. Jeez

I'm going to petition Webster or some other relevant authority to change the definition of common sense, because common sense as we know it is dead.
 
Another way to look at this is to ask yourself, "If someone had fired, and I was on their jury, would I consider this to be a justifiable shoot?" I have to answer yes: dark theater, visibly armed intruders, and the events of recent history all add up to a reasonable fear of death or serious injury on the part of the theater audience.

It is truly fortunate that this did not result in a tragedy; it may yet result in lawsuits, PTSD cases, and other completely forseeable complications.

The manager defends his decision. Apparently he is too much of a bone-head to realize he is a bone-head.
